Post away! If nothing else, it'll draw them out & then can make public posts about what's what.

So it would not be your responsibility to pay your affiliates if CCBill went under?

But (for example) Top Bucks, who uses CCBill to process but has their own admin, would be responsible to pay their affiliates?

When somebody wishes to promote my sites, they enter into a contract with Ccbill, (or epoch in some other's case). In administering the program, CCbill or Epoch has assumed responsibility, and in effect liability. When Ibill went down, they were indeed culpable and the target of lawsuits.

When signing up for a Nats or MPA based program, you are entering a contract with the paysite owner. The billing company has nothing to do with the affiliates, and no responsibility towards them. The paysite owner assumes all of this. Affiliates really should not care who is handling the back end (other than approval/decline ratios) as that's an arrangement between the paysite owner and the processor.

The paysite owner cannot have it both ways- if they wish to handle the money and the payouts, then they need to payout. It's not the affiliate's problem that they chose to deal with that particular processor.

That will teach me to borrow stuff from a friend's site and forget about it Note to self: Rewrite tos

In the interest of appeasing board sponsors, maintaining general goodwill, and being one of those annoying Canadians, I will be happy to let the issue drop. After all, this is the kinder & gentler GG&J |cool|
